Services
From the tender landing on your desk to the machines on site and the money in the bank. The desk is in every plan; hands-on work is quoted before you pay, and paid by M-Pesa.
01 · Win the bid
Upload the tender and the bid opens. We read it, prepare what you cannot, and put the finished pack in the box on time.
Our analysts read every page and publish what you meet, what is missing and exactly what to send.
Form of Tender, declarations, power of attorney and questionnaires filled from your firm profile.
We source every line of the Bill of Quantities and price the cost. You set only the selling price.
The pack assembled in the tender's order, then paginated, serialised and tabbed.
Printed, bound and sealed exactly as the instructions to tenderers ask.
A timed courier to the tender box anywhere in Kenya, tracked live, with a stamped receipt.
We upload your bid on the buyer's portal, apply for supplier registration and prequalification, pay tender fees and collect documents. We never ask for your portal password.
Every supplier-list and prequalification window for your categories and counties found and applied for, AGPO certificates obtained, and a report of the reserved tenders you qualify for.
A capability statement written for the sector with your best past contracts first, a designed company profile, and a past-performance dossier per contract.
Methodology, work plan, programme of works and organisation, written by our engineers and quantity surveyors to the tender's scoring criteria.
The Form of Tender, price schedules and BQ summary prepared in the tender's format, and your prices reviewed by a quantity surveyor before they go in.
Mandatory site visits, pre-bid meetings and tender openings attended for you, in any county.
Before you submit: a senior analyst scores the finished bid as the committee would, your prices are checked against similar awards, and the final pack is checked page by page.
A shortlist of vetted partners who close the gap for one tender, an assessment of what you lack, and the joint venture set up with a partner advocate.
Lost a tender you believe was wrongly evaluated? A partner advocate assesses it and files a request for review with the Review Board in time.
02 · Stay eligible
The certificates every tender asks for, kept current. Valid documents go into each bid by themselves; only what is missing becomes a task.
Every statutory document in one place, with how long each has left.
Registered for what you do not hold yet, with the issuing body, and uploaded to your vault.
Ordered from the expiry alert, filed before the next closing date that needs it.
Move up an NCA class, get ready for ISO 9001, and register with the professional and regulatory bodies bigger contracts ask for.
The people a tender names, made compliant: professional registrations and renewals, NCA site cards, CVs in tender format and police clearance certificates.
03 · Clean books
A Tax Compliance Certificate is only as good as last month's returns, and most tenders ask for audited accounts. We keep both current.
Financial statements prepared with a partner audit firm registered with ICPAK.
Bank and M-Pesa statements turned into monthly books a lender or auditor can read.
Every statutory deduction worked out and filed each month, before the 9th.
Tax returns filed before the deadline, never after, on a monthly retainer or one at a time.
Missing returns filed and arrears cleared so the Tax Compliance Certificate is issued.
Company annual returns to the Business Registration Service, and a tax health check.
Excess VAT credit from withholding VAT claimed back, and assessments or penalties you disagree with objected to in time.
04 · Money to deliver
Winning is half the job; executing takes capital. Requests go to licensed partner insurers, banks and lenders, tracked from your desk.
The bid security the tender asks for, in the right form, amount and validity.
The guarantee you need to sign the contract once you have won.
Capital to buy and deliver against a local purchase order.
Cash against a delivered, unpaid invoice from a public body.
The guarantees that release the advance and the retention money, so the contract funds itself.
The cover the contract requires before you start, placed through a licensed partner broker.
05 · Deliver and get paid
The contract is where the money is made or lost. We measure, certify, source and chase, so you are paid for every piece of work you do.
Valuations and payment certificates, variations, claims and final accounts prepared by our quantity surveyors.
Unpaid certificates followed up with the procuring entity, late-payment interest claimed, and an advocate when it comes to that.
eTIMS-compliant invoices raised and delivered with the right support documents, IFMIS status checked weekly, and every pending bill and held security chased until it is back.
Quotes, manufacturer's authorisations and materials delivered to site; imports cleared by a licensed agent.
A partner advocate reviews the contract before you sign and prepares the documents tenders and partners ask for.
06 · Machines on site
Won the works? Lease vetted machines with operators, mobilised to your site and tracked in the same desk.
Excavators, backhoes, dozers and loaders for site clearance, trenching and foundations.
Graders, rollers and water bowsers for road works and murram.
Tippers, cranes and concrete mixers to move and place material.
Generators and compressors where there is no grid.

A fast, professional site with your profile, services, past projects and certificates.
Sell online with M-Pesa and card payments, stock and order tracking.
Android and iPhone apps for your customers, staff or field teams.
Portals and systems built around how you work: bookings, inventory, HR, schools, clinics.
Keep an existing site or app online, secure, backed up and up to date.
08 · Set up in Kenya
Coming to Kenya to bid, build or supply? We register the company, get your people their permits, set up tax and licences, and find you local partners. Government fees and decisions rest with the issuing authority; our fee is quoted separately.
Register your foreign company in Kenya or incorporate a local subsidiary, with a resident representative and registered office.
Class D for employees, Class G for investors, and the other classes, prepared and filed with Immigration.
Special passes for short assignments, dependant passes for families, and eTAs for visiting staff.
KRA PINs for the company and expatriates, VAT and PAYE obligations, and NSSF, SHA and Housing Levy as an employer.
NCA registration for foreign contractors, and licences from EPRA, CA, NEMA, KEBS and other regulators.
What a Kenyan tender asks of a foreign bidder, supplier registration, and vetted Kenyan firms for joint ventures.
Bank account introductions, payroll for your Kenyan team, and annual compliance for the company.
09 · Bid better yourselves
Half-day sessions for your bid team, online or at your office, built on the evaluation sheets and the bids we see every week.
The mandatory, technical and financial stages worked through with real evaluation sheets and the bids that failed them.
Rates, build-ups, preliminaries and margins with a quantity surveyor, on a BQ from a tender you have bid.
The government e-procurement portal end to end on the live system, and a clinic where a senior analyst reviews your team's draft bid in front of them.
010 · Run the firm
The workspace every service runs through, included in every plan.
Every bid on one board, from received to result, with tasks closed by evidence.
Owners, administrators, bid managers, finance and staff, each seeing what they should.
Email and SMS before a tender closes or a certificate lapses.
Every quote and invoice paid by M-Pesa from the same screen, receipted automatically.
The documents going into each bid, and a record of who did what.
Record the outcome of every tender and learn from what you won.
Preliminary evaluation is a checklist. One lapsed certificate or one unsigned form ends the bid at the first table — the pricing, the bond fee and the printing are gone with it. Tendakazi makes that checklist boring.

Winning is half the job; executing takes capital. Request bonds and financing from the same desk that holds your bid — your track record on Tendakazi travels with the request.
The bid security the tender asks for, in the right form and amount, requested from partner insurers and banks.
The guarantee you need to sign the contract once you have won, without tying up your working capital.
Capital to buy and deliver against a local purchase order, so a large award does not stall at execution.
Cash against a delivered, unpaid invoice from a public body, instead of waiting months for payment.
Bonds and financing are provided by licensed partner insurers, banks and lenders on their own terms and subject to their approval. Tendakazi relays and tracks the request.
A Tax Compliance Certificate is only as good as last month's returns, and most tenders ask for audited accounts. We keep both current, so the vault never has to warn you.
Prepared with a partner audit firm registered with ICPAK, ready for the two or three years tenders ask for.
PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy and NITA worked out and filed every month.
VAT, withholding, turnover tax and corporation tax, filed before the deadline, never after.

Usual statutory dates; the exact date for your firm is confirmed in the quote. Taxes are paid by you directly to KRA and the funds.

NCA-registered builders and civil works firms
Goods, ICT, medical and professional services
A bid file holds your tax records, your shareholders and your prices. Tendakazi is built so they stay yours, in line with Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019.
Every firm's vault, tenders and bids are isolated at the database level. Nobody outside your team can read them — including other firms on the platform.
Owners, bid managers, finance and team members each see what their job needs. Administrator-created accounts must set their own password first.
Every change to a document, a bid or a payment is recorded with who made it and when, for the dispute you hope never comes.
Payments arrive through Safaricom's Daraja API against an invoice reference, recorded once and never edited — corrections are reversals.

For physical tenders, yes: we compile, print, bind and deliver to the tender box, and attach the stamped receipt to your bid. For electronic tenders on IFMIS or a portal, your team submits under your own credentials; Tendakazi prepares the pack and records the acknowledgement.
We do. Upload it and your bid opens at once; our analysts read every page with the help of AI, check each requirement against your vault and firm profile, and send you a report: our recommendation, what you already meet, and for each gap why it is open and exactly what to send. You send the missing items from the report, or ask us to get them.
